This program willsupport ongoing efforts to provide for affordable spay and neuter for dogs and cats, specifically free roaming and feral cats. This willprovide a way for persons to take ownership of some of the cats that they already feed but cannot afford to have sterilized.Animal fighting is a 3rd degree felony and continues to be a part of the animal culture within our county. This program will help supportthe costs associated with the investigation, treatment, and housing of animals rescued from this horrible crime.Volusia County Section F - 24
